Thank You!

The Durham TEA Party invites you to join us at The Sheraton Imperial Hotel & Convention Center on Friday, December 16th at 7:00 PM for a dinner and celebration of the 238th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party. We will be recognizing this important milestone in the fight for freedom and acknowledge the key role of Samuel Adams, one of the original Tea Partiers.

Christine O'Donnell

As you might image, we are very excited that Christine O’Donnell has agreed to join us as our keynote speaker.

Christine O’Donnell, the 2010 candidate for Senate—and established political “troublemaker”—voices the quiet anger in America today: where it comes from, what it’s asking for, and where it’s going from here.

From the moment she upset a heavily-favored incumbent in the primary for the special election to fill the Senate seat vacated by Joe Biden, Christine O’Donnell made headlines. Though she didn’t win the general election, O’Donnell did win the designation of 2010’s Most Covered Candidate. And what people were talking about wasn’t just gossip: they responded to a fresh, unencumbered voice that appealed to voter frustration with politics—and politicians—as usual.

America’s strength lies in its government “by the people, for the people”, but too many of those people feel they are now just labeled featureless residents of “flyover country”, told what to think and what they can and cannot do by an entrenched, reigning class of elites. O’Donnell’s candidacy gave hope that the voices of real people—the people—not only can be heard but can also become a force. Part of this hope is invested in the nascent Tea Party, but most of it is invested in individual voters who are willing to work hard and make sacrifices for what they believe in, not what backroom dealing and a bloated federal government has mandated is good for them.
